Here's the plan: get back to posting and promoting our poets here; keep the Tumblr going and increase engagement there; keep collecting public domain art to use in our online spaces; keep being worthy of donations to keep us going in print; collect our posts from Instagram and eventually post here.

Is there a hidden (from me) way to schedule posts on BlueSky yet? Yes, I get that connection is the point -- and agree, that's what I like about this place -- but also it would be helpful for a full-time grad student / grad teaching assistant to be able to line up posts on the weekend.

"There is so little time to teach you about the wild. I still have to show you how to grin, for the world. How to make it obey, how to remove it from its axis and bounce it the July street. Slap it, balance it, make it only spin for you." - Kristen Reece mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

Now that I have an Itch shop, I decided to make a little downloadable edition of my Weird Western novelette, “Her Wine Red Star.” It was published in Prismatica back in 2020, but has been out of print for a while.
